$145 for First Jump Static Line Skydiving Course ($235 Value)

After a certified instructor covers the fundamentals of safety and skydiving basics in a six-hour training course, students ascend to an altitude of 3,000 feet. They'll then vault from planes completely by themselves, as their chutes open automatically with the help of a static line that connects their backpack directly to the airplane. They'll descend through the air solo for approximately five minutes, navigating their easy-to-maneuver parachutes back toward the airport as instructors on the ground coach them through headsets in their helmets. Visitors also receive a Central Maine Skydiving T-shirt upon the completion of their jumps (a $15 value).

Instructors guide tender-footed jumpers through tandem and static line jumps, and offer solo flights to seasoned free-fallers and direct descendants of Icarus.
